Famous quotes containing the word creatures:
“We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self- will, more than of reason or even of self-interest.... Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.”
—William Hazlitt (17781830)
“True hope is swift, and flies with swallows wings:
Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I have heard
That guilty creatures sitting at a play
Have by the very cunning of the scene
Been struck so to the soul, that presently
They have proclaimed their malefactions.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
